I don???t carry out any cardio other than the warmup for 5 to 10mins.
I am training at high intensity to failure every set and try and have a day off in-between sessions. I have put a little muscle on (maybe old muscle) and when I look in the mirror if I tense my abs I can definitely see the top 4 abs and a delve going down the middle between my abs.
I don???t know what my starting weight or BF % was as I didn???t have decent scales at the time, but was gutted this morning when I weighed myself to find I was only at 18.7%, I am using Tanita body fat scales.
I thought I was building muscle and losing fat because this is a fresh new stimulus to me but the scales show my BF levels are still high.
If you can offer any advice that would be great, thanks
